Subject: Re: Angus, You Misunderstood Me, I Think Author: jean the frenchie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:03:17 10/20/09 Tue In reply to: Rob 's message, "Angus, You Misunderstood Me, I Think" on 06:09:54 10/18/09 Sun I agree totally with you "Rob" : When a nurse asks to a man or a young man or a teenager to strip completly and then asks him only questions about his health, it is obviously without any logical reason. I am not sure that she is enjoying to see a man naked and I don't forget that all men are not so beautiful that it is always a pleasure to look at their body. If I was asked by a nurse to undress completely, I will be obedient and strip completly without discussion because I think that she has a good reason, and I don't think that it is so important to be naked in front of a nurse who must be used to see naked men but I think also that it is stupid if it is not necessary. I think also that if she treats the same way a teenager who is more modest than me,he can be really embarrassed and feels himself humiliated.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Angus, You Misunderstood Me, I Think Author: Walt [Edit] Date Posted: 13:06:48 10/21/09 Wed I currently see a female primary care physician (PCP as my health insurance terms him/her). She is around my age (old enough to be AARP member but not old enough to collect Social Security). She has seen all that I have. My dermatologist is a woman in her 40s. I also had a female emergency room doc who examined ALL of me. No chaperone was present for any of the visits & all within the past 10 years, too. I do recall one experience in which a 20-something female technician or nurse aide tried to get me to get change into the skimpy backless gown before she did her medical history interview. I declined to do so, citing the cool temp of the room. She objected & I requested the presence of the supervisor before I would comply with her direction to change. She didn't have a good explanation for my question that she explain the medical value/necessity of me being in the gown before it was really necessary. She relented & she did her interview while I remained dressed. I am assertive when I feel it is necessary but I never forget that I am there to be examined or treated for some medical problem. That's the bottom line we all need to remember.
